Help make Salford safer after record increase in Greater Manchester reports

We have launched a new initiative in Salford to keep people safer and to reduce serious crime after we received a record increase in reports.

Last year, our charity received over 14,000 pieces of information about crime in Greater Manchester, which was up 6% on the previous year.

Give information 100% anonymously
 

Crimestoppers has run several campaigns over the last 12 months across Greater Manchester, to raise awareness of our anonymous reporting service.
 
Residents are being encouraged to tell our charity information on drug dealing, knife and gun crime, criminal gangs, anti-social behaviour, domestic abuse and drink and drug driving.
 
This campaign is part of the charity’s strategy across Greater Manchester to engage with communities, to give them a powerful voice and to increase reporting. Targeted social media activity and leaflet drops will take place and young people will be reached using our charity’s youth brand Fearless.org. 
 
Information from the community is vital in reducing crime, with our charity being a quick and safe way to do that 100% anonymously.

“Over the last 12 months, we have seen a very significant increase in reports about Greater Manchester, which has led to seizures of drugs and weapons, arrests and vulnerable adults and children safeguarded.
 
“Every piece of information given to Crimestoppers is vital in building the intelligence picture of those who are involved in criminal activity, and in helping to reduce crime and save lives.
 
“In 36 years, we have never revealed the identity of anyone who has contacted us by phone or online, you will always remain anonymous.”
 
Gary Murray, Crimestoppers North West Regional Manager 

Information can be given 100% anonymously to our charity in over 150 different languages, 365 days of the year, 24/7, by calling our UK-based Contact Centre on 0800 555 111, or by completing a safe and secure online form or via Fearless.org for young people. 
 
 In an emergency, or if you see a crime taking place, call the police on 999 or 101.  
 
Please note: Computer IP addresses are never traced, and no-one will ever know you contacted Crimestoppers. For telephone calls, there is no caller line display, no 1471 facility and calls have never been traced.
